Sephora Flushed Blush Are Looking Like Maybelline Cheek Heat Gel-Cream Blush am I right?

Available in three shades the new Sephora Flushed Blush is a new Summer 2021 cream blush with a whipped texture that comes in a tiny 0.33 oz tube for $10 bucks. The weightless formula gives skin a natural, pretty flush of sheer color that builds easily for more pop!

I thought they looked a lot like Maybelline’s Cheek Heat packaging! Although, smaller at 0.27 oz, Maybelline’s version is still the cheaper option at around $7.99 per shade. They do come in a wide shade selection as well.

But still Sephora Flushed Blush put me in a Summer mood so I thought I’d share! Seems like cream blushes are really hitting hard for Summer this year so this isn’t the only one you’ll be seeing coming season.

What do you think of these?

Sephora Flushed Blush are available at Sephora.

I snatched up the Laneige Lip Treatment Balm and that was probably the quickest purchase I ever did makeup. I’m a fond fan of their sleeping mask so purchase their newest lip treatment was a no brainer.

Laneige Lip Treatment Balm is a new daily lip treatment that acts to hydrate and visibly smooth lips while promoting the look of fuller lips with a blend of coconut oil, peptides, and a high shine finish.

Best part? It has a pina colada scent! Yes, please! There’s also a tiny applicator that stores right under the lid for easy application on the go!

I actually use the sleeping pack all the time (not just nightly) and it leaves my lips super smooth and well hydrated. I’m prone to drier lips so it’s a beauty God sent!

Laneige Lip Treatment Balm is available now at Sephora.

Do you plan on snagging it?

The 21 Days of Beauty deals continue at ulta.com today! Might I recommend the Gimme Brow+ Tinted Volumizing Eyebrow Gel from Benefit? It’s $12 bucks! I just grabbed two. So, full disclosure, I have very full, bushy brows and don’t feel the need to use brow pencils. I don’t fill them at all but I make the exception when it comes to Gimme Brow+ Tinted Volumizing Eyebrow Gel. It not only holds my brows but it really makes them look super perfect. This is a lightly tinted eye gel that fills and holds your brows in place. It’s not an overwhelming time of tint or brow product. It just adds a very natural tint to brows and gives them a more perfected look! I love this stuff!

I also stocked up on Kopari’s 100% Organic Coconut Melt ($14 on sale) which is such a gem for drier skin! You can use it to hydrate your dry legs, elbows, or knees, use it to shave, use it in your hair, or even to remove your makeup! It’s the Rosebud Salve of the coconut world! Good stuff! Kopari’s Coconut Exfoliant Crush Scrub is also half off at $19.50.

Clarins best loved Double Serum is also 50% off any size ($45 and up)!

And finally these Lorac Face Palettes are on sale:
Lorac LUX Diamond Golden Hour Face Palette $17.50
Lorac PRO Contour Palette with Contour Brush $22.50
Lorac PRO Conceal/Contour Palette and Brush $22.50

Enjoy!

Did you think KVD was done for good? Think again! KVD Good Apple Skin-Perfecting Hydrating Foundation Balm is one of the brand’s newest foundations. This creamy, hydrating, lightweight balm has a matte finish and contains apple extract that helps to moisturize skin. It launched a very short time ago and ended up going viral on Tiktok soon after and it’s been sold out ever since. I honestly though that KVD would have a hard time making a come back but the fact this out as quickly as it did proves they might just have a trick or two still up there sleeve.

This foundation has been hyped up and so well reviewed and raved. I had some suspicions to be honest as the constant raving about the amazing coverage and the lightweight feel had me raising a brow. Here’s the thing…

Cream foundations like this can be a make or break situation as for me I’d say mostly break. I always, always want to love these. They are created with drier skin folks in mind! This particularly has a “fresh matte” formula and keep in mind these aren’t the mattes our mama and grandma more. The matte finished has evolved! It’s cleaner, it’s fresher, it’s smoother, and it isn’t as drying as it once was. It’s also typically easy to apply and doesn’t adhere to drier areas. I’m not nearly as scared of mattes as I was several years ago. The finish has greatly improved over the years. When it said “fresh matte” finish I wasn’t turned off in the least by that!

Now, keep in mind, I haven’t tried KVD Good Apple Skin-Perfecting Hydrating Foundation Balm and I probably won’t for a few different reasons. First off, cream foundations in a pan never work for me. They always look really bad! Typically they are heavy and they look like a mask on me. They also give me a very made up look and I dislike that. I like a more natural finish in my makeup. Secondly, they tend to feel very greasy almost like Halloween makeup. Ironically that greasiness does not translate to hydrate as I always feel they adhere to every single dry patch on my face. It’s just a really bad, bad formula for me that doesn’t work.

When I started hearing how impressed everyone was with this formula I instantly new a lot of it was hype. I think many people are raving this to death because they are so impressed with the pigment.
